Slick numbers

My last post on BP relied on now-outdated estimates, but my take remains mild. Here is one of those rare articles that puts things in perspective nicely regarding the BP spill. The point is not that we shouldn't worry about spills, but that there might be even more important things to worry about. You don't want to call the fire department to help put out your camp fire while all of NYC is burning down.
